Arsenal

WDWDDW 📈

Arsenal will be hoping for a repeat of their last result, following the 5-1 EFL Cup success vs Bolton Wanderers.

In that game, Arsenal had 77% possession and 21 attempts on goal with 8 of them on target. For Arsenal, the scorers were Declan Rice (16'), Ethan Nwaneri (37', 49'), Raheem Sterling (64') and Kai Havertz (77'). On the other side, Bolton Wanderers had 4 shots at goal with 1 of them on target. Aaron Collins (53') was the scorer for Bolton Wanderers.

Their more recent scorelines show that not much more can be done by the Arsenal rearguard. Arsenal have kept it tight, seeing the total number of goals that have gone in at their end during their previous 6 matches standing at 3. Previous results aside, we must now wait to see if that trend might be sustained in this match.

Leading up to this clash, Arsenal:

• haven't lost in the league to Leicester City in their previous 5 matches.
• are undefeated in their last 5 home league matches.
